But you ignore the past tense ... to me that indicates that although blood would be spilt as per promise the promise might not be as expected. This game has heavy Shalespearean overtones and promises from witches are not to be taken at face value as anyone who has read the Scottish play will know.... anyway it might be more constructive to concentrate on what the rest of you were saying...since there are so many plausible possible wolves .....
